Rajasthan Tehsildar, Assistant, Broker Arrested Accepting Rs 55,000 Bribe
Rajasthan: Tehsildar, junior assistant and broker arrested while accepting bribe · thehansindia.com

Some government workers in India are accused of doing something against the rules.

They were in charge of registering land, which is like writing down who owns a piece of property.

A person who bought land needed an official paper from them.

The workers reportedly said they would only give the paper if the person paid them extra money.

That extra money is called a bribe, and it is not allowed.

The person who bought the land reported what happened to the police who fight corruption.

The officers set up a secret plan to catch the workers doing the wrong thing.

When the money was handed over, the officers arrested the three people.

Now those people will face a trial for breaking the law.
